Darke Lake

Darke Lake Provincial Park Campground sits at roughly 900 metres elevation in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, northwest of Summerland and southwest of Peachland.

The campground is described as undeveloped, surrounded by peaceful hills of pine and fir forest.

White-tailed deer are commonly spotted in the area, and the park provides habitat for notable bird species including the Barn owl, Flammulated owl, and the red-listed Northern goshawk.

The park is accessible via approximately 16 kilometres of gravel road off Highway 97, following Fish Lake Road through Meadow Valley.

Darke Lake itself — historically known as Fish Lake — is a local favourite for ice fishing in winter, as the lake freezes but remains active enough to support fish through the cold months.

An old trapper's cabin and a historical fish camp are also found within the park boundaries.
